Slackware version for Pentium I? Hello
I want to setup desktop for Pentium I (233MMX) with 96MB of ram. I would
prefer -current, but found it slow. I'm used to pentium 4, so my feelings
might be not accurate. Would installing some older slackware help? It
would put me into some troubles which first would be security bugfixes,
(for 8.1 they are maintained, aren't they?). Then I would like to have
there mozilla firebird and open office. So some libs might be needed more
current. Beside, probably some newer versions are not always slower.
So I'm looking for opinion, what to install for such desktop, what would
fit best. I could try it by hand, but it will help me to hear some wise
guys opinions of usage of older versions before downloading and
installing them.
How is XFree 3.3.6 compared to 4.x on older machines? While video is
supported is for usage/speed better to use newest? Does kernek 2.6 would
fit better than 2.4, or maybe better to use 2.2? How does it affect usage
spped?
Thanks for comments and suggestions.
pozdr.
Janek
